Album Notes

The drum solo, the traditional finale of a belly dancer's nightclub show, provides drummers and dancers alike with an opportunity to showcase their technical prowess. Designed with the drummer and dancer in mind, this CD illustrates a variety of drum solos incorporating variations in complexity, composition, and instrumentation.

All of the solos on the CD are a perfect length to be used in your shows.

On the beautifully crafted companion DVD, drummers Carmine T. Guida and David Buchbut play these solos live, with dynamic Arabic, Turkish, and Fusion improvisation from belly dancers Raja, Sarah Skinner, Autumn Ward, and dancer/drummer Bashirah.

REVIEWS

Truly Professional
author: Katherine Heath
I found Carmine Guida through other dancers and took a chance on this CD. I am very pleased that I did. Each solo is great, and varied just enough that a musician or dancer will both find something. And who can resist the price for such wonderful work from professionals?

Totally Awesome
author: Cynthia Stueber
I bought this cd after taking a drumming class with Carmine to learn some of the rhythms used by bellydancer and absolutely LOVE this cd! It was very easy to hear the beats we learned in class that Carmine played on this cd. The DVD is also a great companion to the cd.

Most excellent!
author: Kari Jensen
It is as it says; drum solos. This cd is a good teaching tool (or learning tool) because it presents a number of primarily Egyptian drum solos in a very clearly recorded, easy to hear style. Not a lot of tricky ornamentation, so you can clearly hear the patterns and counts associated with Egyptian drum solos. There is also the added benefit of being of a high enough recorded quality to be able to plug any of these solos into a performance routine. Highly recommended!

Perfect belly dance cd
author: Farah
This is an absolutely perfect cd for all belly dancers and a must have for practice or performance. The songs are all just the right length. I would heartily recommend this to anyone who is new to belly dance and wants to learn Middle Eastern drum rhythms. I've also found that it's a great cd for zil drills. Great job, Carmine!
